Documentaries and corporate videos can range anywhere between 4 weeks and 5 months and beyond.

If you are doing a video about my business, do I need to be interviewed? What is I am not great on camera?

We find that interviewing the owner of the business is the best way to learn the most about the company. By being on camera you make your company more personable and friendly and your customers and clients will even recognize you when they enter your business. However, if you feel you would rather not be interviewed on camera there are still some great alternatives to producing a video for you. Instead of interviewing you we can have a voice-over created with a script that is written. Usually we will speak with you about your company, your products and services, and more and from there we write a script which is read by a voice-over artist.
